historic

A word used to describe our "historic President".

People believe President Barack Hussein Obama to be "historic" because he is the first half-white, half-black President of the U.S. This so-called "history" making gives guilty white liberals something to tout as they increase their rhetoric that anyone who opposes the "historic" president is racist. In fact, some white people, including many in mainstream media feel so guilty being white that they say they got "thrills up their leg" from seeing this happen.

A guy and his wife are in a car on a road trip:

Guy: "99,997, 99,998, 99,999!"
Wife: "100,000!"
Guy: "Gee! That was a historic moment!"
Wife: "It sure was!"

post-historic times

the era following the post-modern era. As new media provides instant documentation of events both large and small, and all recordings of earlier historic records are contained online, this era will be one in which our understanding of time and global events will be within the context of momentary and fleeting bits of information.

Study of history will be a fluid and all-encompassing creative work.

the New York Times? man, that's such a post-historic times entity...

historicide

The murder of history; accomplished when a historian leans too far to the postmodernist/relativist or too far to the scientific/objectivist side of the spectrum.

Gibbon nearly committed historicide back there. Thank goodness Ranke has sorted us all out.
